Hello, again! It’s been, um, years, since I’ve updated this blog? My how times flies. I put the blog aside back in 2018 when I began focusing full-time on my business nutsboltspaper.com. But I couldn’t ever bring myself to officially shut it down. I put years of hard work into building and creating relatable, helpful…
When we first moved into our house 3 years ago, I couldn’t believe the size of our laundry room – It was so spacious! In fact, it was almost too big; I had no idea what to do with it. At first, it was a catch-all storage room with bad lighting. It took a couple…

I don’t want my home to be a shrine to my kids or our family’s faces… it just feels wrong. But then, I also hate really posed…
My daughter’s room is one that we redesigned a while ago and I still haven’t shared pictures here on the blog! I suppose it’s partly because I keep adding to it and it honestly still isn’t “complete.” But if I waited until something was 100% complete in my house, I wouldn’t photograph any of it!…
As avid coffee drinkers, we frequent our Keurig [if you don’t have one, a) where have you been? b) it’s time, my friend. go here]. Coffee has always been a part of our marriage; I grew to love it somewhere around college (I think drinking it made me feel like an adult – lol). My…
When we moved into our home 3 years ago, one of the first things we did was build a mudroom bench by the front door. With a family of 5 and seasonal weather, we knew we needed a place for shoes, hats, jackets, gloves, scarves and backpacks. I hacked some IKEA benches and created the…
It’s hard to believe that we have lived in our house for 2 1/2 years. As it usually goes, some days it feels like we just moved in and others it feels like we’ve been here forever. We have done quite a bit to our house over the years, including some new windows and some electrical…
I’ve never really been one to decorate for Halloween. I’ve tried in the past, but was more than happy to remove it when Halloween was done. Call me crazy, but black and orange and skeletons and spiderwebs don’t scream “cozy” to me, and it always just made me feel uncomfortable in my own home. So…
With school on the rise, it’s got me thinking about homework again (collective “ugh”). Truthfully, this isn’t something that we are all that used to in my house. My oldest is in the second grade and up until this point has had very little homework. So we don’t really have a “homework station” or area…
When we moved into our first home almost 2 and a half years ago, we were very lucky to buy a flip. It was completely redone on the inside and it was move-in ready, save for a few minor details. There’s only one problem I see with most flips… unless your flip was done by Joanna Gaines…
